Developed in collaboration with Westcoast Connection Teen Summer Programs, this immersive summer experience in London is an outstanding opportunity for ambitious high school students to pursue their passion and gain practical insights into the ways that global investors evaluate companies, build portfolios, and strategically manage risk.
Dynamic sessions led by NYIF experts will cover topics from forecasting growth to financial analysis.

Beyond the classroom, students will visit major financial institutions and other industry sites for a behind-the-scenes look at how they shape the global economy.
